SDT-10000/SDT-11000 DDS-4Tape Drive
Congratulation on your purchase of the Sony DDS-4 drive SDT-10000/SDT-11000.
This drive is a high capacity data storage device using 4mm DAT (DigitalAudio Tape) technology. The SDT-10000/SDT-11000 drive achieves highdata reliability through Read-After-Write, an additional level of ErrorCorrection Code, and other features.
The Sony SDT-10000/SDT-11000 drive stores data on tape using astandard format called DDS (Digital Data Storage), DDS-4, DDS-3, DDS-2, DDS-DC and DCLZ formats. These formats are used by many otherDDS tape drive manufacturers, providing a broad range of compatible tapedrives.
The Sony SDT-10000/SDT-11000 is fully READ and WRITE compatiblewith the DDS-4, DDS-3, DDS-2, DDS and DDS-DC format tapes.

Precautions
Installation
Avoid placing the drive in a location subject to:– high humidity– high temperature– mechanical shock and vibration– direct sunlight
Operation* Do not move the drive while it is operating. Doing so may cause a
malfunction.* Avoid exposing the drive to sudden changes from low to high in
temperature. This may cause water condensation to collect inside thedrive. If the ambient temperature should suddenly rise while the drive isturned on, wait at least one hour before turning on the drive. If youattempt to operate the drive immediately after a sudden increase intemperature, a malfunction may occur.
* Do not turn off the drive while a tape is inside the drive.
Transportation
* Keep the original packing materials for possible future shipments of thedrive.
* Be sure to remove any tapes from drive prior to transportation. Afterremoving the drive from the computer, repack the drive into its originalpackaging.
Notice of SCSI Termination
This SDT-10000/SDT-11000 conforms to the Microsoft PC97 HardwareDesign Guide which requires the internal drive to be terminated with anexternal terminator.
Microsoft PC97 SCSI requirementsSCSI peripherals must not terminate the bus. Both internal cable ends are insteadterminated by plug-in connectors.

Drive Operation
Loading a Cassette
Insert a cassette into the slot on the front panel with the arrow on thecassette pointing towards the drive. When the cassette is inserted, thedrive takes it and automatically loads it into drive mechanism.
Unloading a Cassette
The cassette can be removed from the SDT-10000/SDT-11000 eitherin response to a SCSI Unload Command, or by pressing the ejectbutton.
By pressing Eject button, the tape goes to BOM, the drive unthreadsit, and ejects the cassette from the slot..
Write-protecting a Cassette
Cassettes can be write-protected by sliding the tab on the back of thecassette open..
In this state, data can be read from the tape but not written onto it.
Using your fingernail, push the switch in the direction of the arrow to avoid accidental overwriting or erasure of data.
Return the switch to its original position to re-enable writing.
15
Using a Cleaning Tape
The SDT-10000/SDT-11000 has a built-in super head cleaner designed tolast for the life of the drive.
In addition, a cleaning tape should be used periodically to clean the entiretape path.
The drive will automatically request you to perform a cleaning operation.
The need for a cleaning tape is determined by the drum rotating hours sincethe last cleaning was performed. The drive will request a cleaning operationevery 24 hours of drum rotation. (DDS-4)
Emergency Cassette Removal Procedure
In case the tape is stuck inside the drive, you could remove the tapecartridge manually.
1 Remove the drive from the chassis or enclosure to allowaccess to the bottom and left side of the drive.
2 Remove the drive’s top cover to monitor the degree of tapeslack throughout the process.
Note
Never touch the inside of the drive when the top cover is opened. Otherwise it maycause a trouble.
3 Rotate the Loading/Threading motor clockwise with a smallscrewdriver (ex. Phillips “+” No. 1) put into the plastic screwhead on the back of the drive (see the location in a drawingbelow).
This will enable you to move back the threading mechanism to theinitial position.
Notes
• Do not rotate the screw further when you reach to the mechanical limit to avoiddamage on the mechanism.
• To prevent damage on the tape, take up the slack of tape from time to time byclicking the ratchet mechanism located on the left side of the drive.
16
4 Continue the procedure until the tape is lifted out of the drivemechanism and ejected.
5 Return the drive to a service station for repair.
